{"product_id":"9781579229115","title":"Assessing Student Learning in the Community and Two-Year College: Successful Strategies and Tools Developed by Practitioners in Student and Academic Affairs","description":"This is a practical resource for community and two year college professionals engaged at all levels of learning outcomes assessment, in both academic and co-curricular environments. It is designed as a guide both to inform the creation of new assessment efforts and to enhance and strengthen assessment programs already established, or in development. \u003cp\u003eEach chapter addresses a key component of the assessment process, beginning with the creation of a learning-centered culture and the development and articulation of shared outcomes goals and priorities. Subsequent chapters lead the reader through the development of a plan, the selection of assessment methods, and the analysis of results. The book concludes by discussing the communication of results and their use in decision making; integrating the conclusions in program review as well as to inform budgeting; and, finally, evaluating the process for continuous improvement, as well as engaging in reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is illustrated by examples developed by faculty and student affairs\/services professionals at community and two year colleges from across the country. Furthermore, to ensure its relevance and applicability for its targeted readership, each chapter has at least one author who is a community college or two-year college professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors are drawn from the following colleges:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBorough of Manhattan Community College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuffalo State College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoy Battison\u003cbr\u003eKimberly Kline\u003cbr\u003eBooker Piper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButler County Community College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSunday Faseyitan \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalifornia State University, Fullerton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Hoffman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenesee Community College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Priester\u003cbr\u003eVirginia Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeald College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMegan Lawrence\u003cbr\u003eStephanie Romano (now with Education Affiliates)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHobart and William Smith Colleges\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStacey Pierce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiami Dade College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Frederick\u003cbr\u003eBarbara Rodriguez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNorthern Illinois University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictoria Livingston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eParadise Valley Community College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Dale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSan Diego Mesa College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJill Baker\u003cbr\u003eJulianna Barnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSan Diego State University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarilee Bresciani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSan Juan College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Eppich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStark State College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarbara Milliken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUniversity of Akron\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSandra Coyner\u003cbr\u003eMegan Moore Gardner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stylus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047359758576,"sku":"9781579229115","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781579229115_p0.jpg?v=1763798291","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781579229115","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
